Woodcutting is used to gather logs which are used primarily in 
Firemaking and 
Fletching.
Mechanics
The amount of time each Woodcutting action takes can be reduced by 5-50% by purchasing axe upgrades, 15% by purchasing the 
Master of Nature god upgrade, 15% with the 
Woodcutting Skillcape (or 20% with the 
Superior Woodcutting Skillcape), 6% while the 
Stepping Stones obstacle is active, 3% with the Elite Pillar of Expertise pillar, 2% with 
Harold, 0.2 seconds for any trees with a 
Mastery level of 99, and a further 0.3 seconds while the 
Ent + 
Eagle Synergy is active. The lowest possible action interval which may be reached with some of the lower level trees is 0.25 seconds.
Items Received
The player will sometimes receive items other than Logs while cutting trees. Each of these items is rolled separately, so it is possible to get multiple different items from the same action.
A single 
Bird Nest can drop with a 0.5% chance while cutting any tree. The chance of receiving a nest and quantity of nests received can be increased in a number of ways, as listed on the Bird Nest page. If the Ent + 
Monkey Synergy is active, there is a 35% chance that the nest will instead be replaced with a random item of silver or gold jewellery.
Raven Nests can drop with a 3% while cutting any tree requiring at least 
Level 100. This drop chance may only be increased with the 
Clue Chasers Insignia, while the quantity dropped can be increased by the same bonuses which affect Bird Nest drop quantities.
A single 
Ash may drop while cutting any tree, provided the 
Meteorite Axe upgrade has been purchased, or either the 
Meteorite Woodcutting Amulet or 
Meteorite Woodcutting Ring are equipped, all of which increase the drop chance by 2%.
If the 
Crown of Madremonte is equipped, 
Mushrooms may drop at a 5% chance from any Woodcutting action.
With the final star of the 
Deedree (requires Level 99), 
Stardust may drop with up to a 5% chance while cutting 
Magic Logs, the quantity of Stardust being the same as the number of logs received.
Additionally, the Ent + 
Mole Synergy grants a 5% chance for a random normal Gem to drop.

Axe Upgrades
Woodcutting upgrades can be purchased from the shop. There are several axe upgrades, which provide an increase to Woodcutting speed and a 
Multi-Tree upgrade, which grants the ability to chop down two different trees at the same time. The bonuses provided by these upgrades are permanently active once purchased, they do not need to be equipped or otherwise enabled.
